„This series is a systematic presentation of a particular body of knowledge, which we call Diamond Mind, and its corresponding modus operandi, a way of working with people toward inner
realization, which we call the Diamond Approach®. There are three volumes to date: THE VOID, PEARL BEYOND PRICE and POINT OF EXISTENCE. The presentation is somewhat technical, and hence will be
useful to psychologists, psychotherapists, educators and spiritual teachers, but is also accessible to the educated reader. This work is a response to an important need that is being felt in many
quarters, a need for a spiritually informed psychology, or conversely, for a psychologically grounded spirituality. This perspective does not separate psychological and spiritual experience, and
hence sees no dichotomy between depth psychology and spiritual work. Through a creative critique and investigation, this system takes some of the elements of depth psychology, particularly those
of ego psychology and object relations theory, and extends them into realms of the human psyche which are usually considered the domain of religion, spirituality and metaphysics.
This body of knowledge is not an integration or synthesis of modem depth psychology and traditional spiritual understanding. The inclination to think in terms of integration of the two is dueto
the prevailing belief in the dichotomy between the fields of psychology and spirituality, a dichotomy in which the Diamond Mind understanding does not participate.
The Diamond Mind knowledge is a multifaceted understanding of the nature of man, his consciousness or psyche, and the potential for expansion of his capacity for experience and inner development.
These several points regarding the nature of this understanding will help to place it in context:
It is my wish that this knowledge will be useful in refining and deepening our understanding of who and what we are as human beings. Perhaps it will make it possible for more of us to actualize our rich potential and to live more complete lives.“
A.H. Almaas, Berkeley, California, 1994

Inner Spaciousness and Ego Structure
"The Void, in a remarkable and direct way, introduces us to the space or ground of mind within which mental structures operate. [Almass] shows how inner spaciousness can be experienced in
somatic, psychological and spiritual ways, details some of the many levels of inner space and, more importantly, illustrates how these experiences of space can lead to fundamental healing and
integration of our being." - Jack Kornfield

Transformation of Narcissism in Self-Realization - The Point of Existence describes the underlying spiritual basis for the common understanding of narcissism, which is the experience of a
disturbance in the inner sense of self and the resulting need for constant reflection from the outside. This vulnerability in the inner experience of identity arises out of a basic separation
from the essential presence which is the source of a true sense of self.
"A.H. Almaas is an astute and brilliant explorer of the common ground of psychology and spiritual development. Almaas provides a much larger and more satisfying framework for understanding the
quandaries of self, identity and the resolution of narcissism. He shows how the universal narcissism of everyday life is an incomplete stage of development that can only be overcome through
realization of one's deepest, most essential nature. This is a book to study, to contemplate, to live with, and to use as a guide on one's journey." - John Welwood, Ph.D. (author of Love and
Awakening)
"Almaas has given us a powerful unfoldment of a new field of study. This pioneering work renders outdated both the psychologist's traditional avoidance of deeper dimensions of experience and the
mystic's dismissal of psychology. Almaas's tour de force is must reading for anyone who is seeking a more profound understanding of human experience." - Sherry Ruth Anderson, Ph.D. (co-author of
The Feminine Face of God)
"Almaas's The Point of Existence is a supremely original and unique work at the interface of spirituality and psychoanalysis. It will be of immense significance for anyone involved in a spiritual
path. The promise and challenge of this work for both transpersonal and psychotherapeutic orthodoxies is immense. It will be studied and debated by psychologists, spiritual practitioners, and
theologians for years to come." - Harry Hunt, Ph.D. (author of On the Nature of Consciousness)
